Stop, poacher!

On October 18, 2017, in the water area of the Caspian Sea near the Karazhanbas oil field (Kazakhstan), the staff of the Specialised Environmental Prosecutor’s Office of Mangistau Region, Environmental Police MPS DIA and the Territorial Inspectorate of Forestry and Wildlife conducted the emergency preventive activities “Stop, poacher!”

As a result of their inspection, a poacher’s fishing net of 2000 meters in length was found, in which a few sturgeons and a Caspian seal were lying. The inspectors released 15 live fishes and the seal back to the sea, and burnt the fishing net. After drawing up an act, the dead fish was destroyed.
